Answer:
The correct answer is 17 meq/g
Explanation:
Ion exchange capacity (IEC) express the total of active sites of a resin in which ions are attached because the greater molecular weight.
The exchange Reaction can be represented as
R-H[tex]R-H^{+} + Na^{+} + Cl^{-} -> R-Na^{+} + HCl_{aq}[/tex]
The IEC value (in meq/g) is determinated by using the next equation:
IEC=[(mL of NaOH)*(M of NaOH)]/mass of resin
IEC [(17 mL)*(0.5 M)/0.5]= 17 meq/g
